Product Description
This load wheel kit includes two 95A polyurethane load wheel assemblies complete with axles, sealed bearings, and fasteners for easy replacement of worn wheels. Designed for durability and reliability, the kit provides excellent traction and stability, making it suitable for maneuvering in tight spaces and over rough surfaces. The wheels are non-marking to protect delicate floors while rolling more smoothly and quietly than traditional 92A polyurethane wheels, enhancing operational efficiency.
Compatibility: Fits pallet jacks made by Raymond, model 8400. SKU: GWK-8400-LW

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between GWK-8400-LW and GWK-8400-LW-XL?
A: GWK-8400-LW uses 95A Shore durometer polyurethane wheels, while GWK-8400-LW-XL uses 97A Shore durometer (XL Poly) with a steel core instead of molded nylon. The 97A wheels last longer and handle heavier sustained loads, but both fit Raymond 8400 models. Choose 95A for general warehouse use and 97A for high-traffic or outdoor environments.
Q: Does GWK-8400-LW fit any other Raymond pallet jack models?
A: GWK-8400-LW is engineered specifically for Raymond 8400 electric pallet jacks. Do not use on Raymond 8410, 8500, or other models without verifying axle diameter, bearing type, and fastener compatibility. Cross-model fitment can cause binding or bearing failure.
Q: What tools and safety steps are required to install GWK-8400-LW?
A: You need a socket wrench set, bearing press (or access to a maintenance bay), and jack stands or lift table. Always disconnect the battery before starting. Lift the jack fully, secure it on stands, remove fasteners from old wheels, press out old bearings, install new sealed bearings with 2RS contact seals, install new assemblies, torque fasteners to OEM specification, and test full raise/lower before returning to service.
Q: Why do the wheels on GWK-8400-LW not mark delicate floors?
A: The tread uses a Scotch finish non-marking compound applied over the 95A polyurethane. This compound is designed not to transfer pigment to tile, vinyl, or polished concrete. The finish wears over time as the wheel surface breaks in, so initial performance is best. Avoid dragging or overloading on sensitive surfaces to maximize non-marking life.
Q: How long should GWK-8400-LW wheels last in normal warehouse operation?
A: Expected lifespan is 12 to 24 months depending on surface type, load profile, and mileage. Rough concrete and outdoor use accelerates wear. Inspect wheels every 6 months for flat spots, chunks, or cracks. Replace the kit when tread depth becomes uneven or noise increases during operation.
